After 2 periods I gotta say.. If the NHL wonders why people dive, it's because it gets calls. Interesting how the more the refs get involved and the more penalties they call, the more players dive. Add to that, players don't get penalized for diving.. so what reason do they have not to dive? Friend of mine James from Sacramento is pissed off as NBC is showing the weather s*** instead of the game. He's like... flipping-the-hell-out mad. He's missed the entire game so far since NBC refuses to break away from weather.

Ya know what's great about those thrilling crowd shots of the Vancouver fans? The constant visual reminder of the roughly 75 team logos and designs and color schemes that franchise has had.

I'm rooting for Kessler and Thomas!! esteef

To all the young punks who think my NHLPA'93 on the Sega Genesis is outdated-you guys look really foolish now as your new games have the Thrashers while mine has a Winnipeg team.

Always straight forward and honest? LOL This is the guy that was screwing his team mate's wife.

I think Boston are a much better team than you give them credit for. Good depth up front, excellent goaltending. I actually think they stand a good chance of winning.

I know that the best way to move mountains is to get a ton of people to move small stones. In our modern age whenever something needs to get done, it is the masses mobilizing that gets work done. Now we have a year to make sure we are the team to go east, not Nashville or Columbus. What can we use to get that to happen? Well the Wings can use their leverage, but that might not be enough to get this done. The other major tool at our advantage is our fanbase is far larger. We need to use it to make sure the league knows what we can do. I suggest we use the internet and our brains to figure out a grassroots movement to ensure that we are the team to move east. The best idea I can come up with is to make ourselves visible in front of the Arena every home game, and every away game with signs visibly demanding a move to the east, as well as events in front of NHL league offices in Toronto and New York. This means those among us with the means to travel, or living in those markets need to get visible and loud. I also suggest we start an internet movement pledging to boycott away games in the West if we don't get moved, and pledging to travel to eastern teams if we do. The best goal is to make it seem like the league will lose money if we don't get moved. Anyone have any other ideas? Does anyone have the abilities to take leadership on this? Does anyone want to see us MOVE EAST!!!! I have started a tweet thread. #MoveDetroitEast This is the start, Atlanta leaves to go West, Detroit is the only team that deserves to go East. Join us fans! All you twitter addicts, start tweeting using #MoveDetroitEast and let the league know! Can anyone get a website going called www.MoveDetroitEast.org or com or whatever? Edit update: I have established a Facebook page and a twitter movement already! Join me and like "Move Detroit East" On Facebook! Tweet about #MoveDetroitEast as much as possible and spread the word we deserve to go east! Keep up the ideas and effort, remember if social media and protests in the streets can topple dictators, it can topple Bettman!!!

Thomas has been sharp.

Sedin just got shot in the chest with a Glock 20 Easton hockey stick.

Lucic's hunchback might be cured after that hit.

Burrows takes a bite off Bergeron's finger? Being a French-speaker, I think he misunderstood what 'playing hungry' means.

Go B's!

I wasn't aware that you had such a well-developed sense of humor, eva.

Usually I the Canadian anthem singers even for the U.S. anthem but this one singing the U.S. anthem sucks.

hyperbole ftw! no one is saying that at all. most people just advocate the solution that makes most sense for the league.

Hitchcock on D and Larionov to coach the Fwds.

Was watching this old clip of the Jets and noticed someone about half way through....lol

I dont think they would ever be willing to put all of the original 6 in one division. With exception to Pitt, WSH, and VAN, you have all the big markets in one division. Not good for the teams with weaker attendance. EDIT: I do like the idea though, my thoughts were that we could do something similar to baseball NL/AL leagues, or north/south like someones else said.

NHL Disciplinary Committe: "Clear blind side hit" Shanny:"Should have kept his head up, no suspension" NHLDC:"Huge boarding call, mild concussion" Shanny:"Shouldn't have turned your back on Raffi Torres" NHLDC:"Joe Thornton, two diving calls in one game" Shanny: "Death"

The Wiz is my guy, nobody beats the wiz

I do not want Ericsson for 2.25 I think he should take 1.25 and be happy with it.

I think the only way the Wings move East is if fans stop going to games in general, the team stops being profitable, and they need the big Eastern cities to help make them money. I'm all for taking a stand and voicing your opinion, but I think we need to face facts, the Wings make to much money for the West. The NHL would be stupid to move the Wings East. It makes so much sense (distance, financial, and to keep things simple), for the NHL to move Nashville East, put them in the Southeastern Division, and have Winnipeg in the Northwest, moving Minnesota to the Central. East: Moving Nashville East is almost like just moving Atlanta up the road a bit, with very little change to the Western divisions.

Sorry, Mr. Yzerman, but I just couldn't take Stanley getting another tan. Besides, if you win a Cup in your first season, there's nowhere to go but down after that. This could be a very interesting series or one of the most boring SCF in history. I'm hoping for the former, and that the B's pull it off. Original Six and they have the best commercials. History tells us the refs will pretty much swallow their whistles in this series; I'm hoping the Nucks respect the Finals and don't feel the need to continue with their previous antics. And if they do, I hope Chara Kronwalls them.

We'll see, but I think Vancouver sweeps in 7.

Go Boston! I want to see Tim Thomas lift the Cup.
